Alessi 9091 Kettle by Richard Sapper

Melodic whistling kettle. As the steam exhausts itself the whistle produces a short, enjoyable melody. 18/10 stainless steel, brass, reinforced copper. Italy, 1980s.

Great original condition - see photos. 
9.5ʺW × 6.5ʺD × 8ʺH. 

When Alessi commissioned the design, Sapper told Alberto Alessi: “I want to design a kettle that can be multi-sensorial. Not only to the eyes, but also to the ears.” When the water in the kettle boils, the kettle’s brass whistle emits a short and pleasant melody through unique ‘coristi’ tuning pipes, produced by a German craftsman discovered by Sapper’s sister.
